The Dogs SA Winter International
The Dogs SA Winter International is the Premier Five Day, Five Show weekend in South Australia. The Show is run for Dogs SA by the Winter International Committee. In 2018, the Winter International Committee ran the first Australian F.C.I C.A.C.I.B. Championship Show under the 2017 ANKC FCI Agreement. This has been followed up in 2022 with the first Asia, Africa and Oceania (A2O) Championship Show. In 2023, the Winter International was the first show in Australia to award C.I.B. Junior Certificates towards the F.C.I. Junior Champion Title. In 2024, we added the C.I.B. Veteran Certificate towards the F.C.I. Veteran Champion Title. The international flavour continues with the Saturday Show being a “Cruft’s Qualifier”. In 2025, a new first, a Grooming Show.
Combined with 16 Breed Specialty Shows run over the 2025 weekend, it is no wonder that the Winter International has won four consecutive prestigeous Dog News Australia awards for “Australia’s Favourite Show”. The committee looks forward to welcoming our eleven International Judges to the 2025 event and exhibitors from all around Australia.
